| Speakers near fireplace @soundermn I did, but it just doesn't seem like I'd have the space needed to walk through the room without putting the speakers right up against the wall. I'll take a second look at it. | |
| Speakers near fireplace Thanks all, yes it's the heat I'm worried about more than the SQ. @gdnrbob - I'm using metal because that has a high heat capacity so it will be the most accurate to test for how hot a black body will get.If I end up making radiation shields they ... | |
| Speakers near fireplace It's a wood burning fireplace. I'm planning on putting a black piece of metal in the place where the speakers would be and making a shield to limit convection, then measuring that with an infrared thermometer. Being black, metal and not having an... | |
| Speakers near fireplace I realized I could post some images in the virtual system area. If you go there you can see a model and a drawing of the plan, one thing I forgot to mention is the room has built-ins. I'm allowed to remove them - would they likely help or hurt? I... | |
| Speakers near fireplace @tochsii I agree as far as the radiant heat goes. I could make some thin steel sheet panels as reflectors, that would likely mess with the sound too.FWIW, I did some more layout using a solid modelling program and they’ll be closer to 28" out, and... | |
| Speakers near fireplace @gdnrbob Is this what you mean?https://www.grainger.com/product/LEGRAND-10-ft-2600-Series-Raceway-3YY71?cm_sp=Product_Details-_-Products_Based_on_Your_Search-_-IDPPLARECS&cm_vc=IDPPLARECS | |
| Speakers near fireplace Thanks all, The fireplace has glass doors if that will help. Who know's what frequency they resonate at though. ;-) I guess I'll find out. Where can I upload a file to show you all what I've got going on? | |
| Speakers near fireplace Thanks Grannyring and lak. I'll have to check on whether the landlord will allow me to drill holes in the floor.Thanks Stereo5 - that type of concern was why I posted. It's probably a good idea to check with Richard Vandersteen on the maximum tem... | |
| Dedicated electrical lines 140 ft? It would most likely be less expensive to add a 30 amp sub-panel close to the music room. You could run a single 6 ga Aluminum or 8ga copper line to there and then 3 shorter lines to create the circuits. It would also leave you room for mo... | |
| This is juvenile... Ha ha ha, what a topic! I think I would have to either go with Linda Ronstadt or Nora Jones; nowt that they are the most attractive, but they are, or were, beautiful women with beautiful voices that bring out emotion in me. This of course also pr... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers I have one suggestion. Bring paper and pen to make notes on speakers, amps, preamps, sources and your thoughts about each audition. | |
| What were your humble beginnings on the path to high end audio? My first: Creek 4330 integrated, JM Lab micro carat speakers and a Rotel RCD-02 CD spinner, with Kimber 4 strand speaker cable and PBJ interconnects. I think I spent about $2,300 in the 1980’s. Still respect that system. | |
| Do you trust Audiogon? The OP seems be justified to be suspicious, but that doesn’t mean he was going to get ripped off. I know nothing of the circumstances or deal but I’ll add that lots of “honest folks” do “cheat on their taxes”.Ultimately, it’s wise to protect your... | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart @sbank Thanks for all your insight, I’d go on but be superfluous. Really appreciate it. @bpoletti Thanks to you as well, I don’t disagree that that TT isn’t a great deal, but not for me, Cheers,Jim | |
| TNT Hot Rod vs SL-1200G Thanks to all for your - as usual - excellent advice and experiences. I think that given the cost of shipping, SDS and space considerations, the Technics is probably a better option for me. Thanks again! |
